The Story Behind Don Tahoe
From a simple gag gift to years of questionable recipes, unusual products, and unforgettable laughs.
It Started With a Can of Possum
It all started with a can of ‘Possum. Twelve years ago, as a simple gag gift for neighbors and family, we designed a Snow Possum in Sugar Plum Syrup label, printed it at a local print shop, cut it out, and glued it onto an ordinary vegetable can. That little joke sparked everything that followed.
Building the Legend
From there, we dreamed up the HUMBUGGERNAUT brand—imagining a mysterious fellow named Johann Humbuggernaut somewhere in South Dakota, cranking out wildly questionable canned foods with even more questionable flavors.
And Honestly…
Things have come a long way since then.
Still Making People Smile
What hasn’t changed is our belief that a good laugh can bring people together like nothing else. That spirit is what drives us to keep creating unique, ridiculous, conversation-starting products that carry on the legacy.
Now we’re thrilled to introduce our latest line: the Don Tahoe brand—featuring “White-tailed ‘Possum Jerky” and “Squirrel Nugget Protein Powder”.
We’d love to hear what you want to see next—and how you’re having fun with the quirky creations from Don Tahoe.
